i was going to say that a detailed classification of fiction would not really help finding interesting stuff. apart from the broad categories as you mention, interesting books are more defined by writing style, characters, etc.

i am struggling with this as i keep looking for new books to read. being in a book club helps a lot.

This is so subjective. Some have the right genes and behavioral patterns and can get by going on every year or two, while others need more upkeep to maintain their oral health.
That sucks a bit. I was just wondering why they are touting that 3rd party company in their own blog post, who commercialise research tools, as well. Maybe there are some corporate agreements with them that prevents them from opening the system...

Imagine the goodwill for humanity for releasing these pure research systems for free. I just have a hard time understanding how you can motivate to keep it closed. Let's hope it will be replicated by someone who doesn't have to hide behind the "responsible AI" curtain as it seems they are now.

Are they really thinking that someone who needs to predict 11 structures per day are more likely to be a nefarious evil protein guy than someone who predicts 10 structures a day? Was AlphaFold-2 (that was open-sourced) used by evil researchers?
My computer doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11 so I opted to stay on Windows 10 until support ran out. Then, as Windows does, the performance and reliability of my computer just started to deterioate more and more. A few weeks ago I completely wiped the system drive and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04. Microsoft can pound sand I'm never buying a Microsoft product ever again.

Proton has been playing the steam games I've tried either just as good or even better in certain cases than Windows, which was the only thing keeping me on Windows anyway. Good riddance.
Arguably the best OS? For what? For browsing the web, video editing, etc.? Maybe. For development? Jesus, macOS doesn't even have native container support. All the devs I know with macOS then either get a second Linux laptop, or spend a lot of their time SSHd into a Linux server.

For dev (at least backend and devops), macOS is not that great.
Most offices already have break rooms. Sinks and dishwashers are fairly common in them. Make them a common area with a shared stove... Odds are the residents will pitch in and buy some cookware and set a policy of clean up after yourself.

I’ve had reports of Zoom interview where an earpiece has fallen out and my interviewers heard advice on how to answer the question audibly present. Kind of dumb, how hard is mixing the audio?
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I actually acknowledged that my own life is less comfortable than it could be (and I still probably use more than "my share" of carbon compared to global means). I will in fact be traveling this summer and I assure you that flying on a plane would be more comfortable than the arrangements I have made.

But life is often uncomfortable; sometimes you must endure a needle or a surgery in order to receive life-saving medicine. My city in South Texas hit a record heat index of 117 last year - I can assure you that that is very uncomfortable, and yet we are still in the relatively early stages of global warming; I assume that I'll need to move north at some point in my life.

But even I fear some discomforts - I cannot imagine a frank discussion with children today about the future they are staring down, and I have to imagine its one that nearly all parents will face (not that I am among them).
When the math is clear, there's no uncertainty and fear.

I have more than enough, and I don't worry about running out.

If I had $5M at 60, I would feel the same way. It's clearly more than enough. If I then went on to have $1M at 70, I would worry. The earlier case of $1.3M at 49 seems reasonable to worry about.

If $5M at 60 isn't enough, there's probably no reasonable number that is enough, and there's no sense worrying about it, because there's no action to be taken.

If you haven't figured out how to not worry about things you can't take action about, maybe you've misspent your 60 years. But, there's not much action to take about that either.
Years of work wasted because it is not better than nothing.
This is a basic question, but how is the accuracy of the predicted biomolecular interactions measured? Are the predicted interactions compared to known interactions? How would the accuracy of predicting unknown interactions be assessed?
The issue for me is that Microsoft is increasingly desperate for Windows to become a tablet OS. This is leading to a lot of design choices that make it annoying to use on the desktop.

I've been struggeling with a tough parquet problem for a few months now.

I have a 15gb parquet file in a s3 bucket and I need to "unzip" and extract every row from the file to write into my database. The contents of the file are emails and I need to integrate them into our search function.

Is this possible to do without an unreasonable amount of RAM? Are there any affordable services that can help here?

Feel free to contact me (email in bio), happy to pay for a consult at the minimum.
The mistake here is thinking that cost and price are related beyond determining what the final margin is.

The consumer decides the price that is acceptable for the good - the cost of that good being higher or lower just changes the viability of the product and the bottom line from selling it. So it makes tons of sense that given two similar products that consumers will pay a similar price for that companies would prefer to sell the one that costs them less.
The format is very simple, basically a square wave with different pulse widths for 1s and 0s [1]. Spectrum software was typically sold on audio cassettes and the radio broadcasts are the exact same format, typically people would record the broadcasts to cassette. The loader program in ROM just copies all the data from tape (or radio) into RAM so yes any game logic would be included in that.

One of the things I wish we could start bringing into the public domain are zero-knowledge proofs for biometric data. Basically it'd enable the situation where the person being ID'd gives permission to a third party to know whether they're over 18 or not, and the entity requiring ID gets a yes/no without ever knowing the actual age or identity of the person.

same experience, same conclusion. I used to hire without coding interviews, i don't anymore.

Although i see it as a way for the candidate and i to talk about code in general, and assess his level. No as a simple barrier.

i hired a candidate that completely failed a code interview because he was super nervous, but just talking about the problem made me quite sure he was actually good.

Very interesting, do wish we could play with it since it is a show hn, maybe repost when it is open sourced/usable. Looking forward to reading about how it works. How does it know which holds are on? How does it know what the top is? Are those inputs or inferred or is it just end to end completing likely body positions one after the other?

I stayed on Windows 7 well after Windows 10 was around. The real issue is not security updates, it's drivers. The last time I installed windows 7, I had to make my own custom boot disk to allow it to recognise my SSD drive, and I couldn't make it work with NVMe at all.
So they could technically answer all questions but they don’t want to.

In my opinion because people tend to ask about negative things and not about positive. For example one would rather ask about corruption instead of charity.

In this way the AI would give a lot of unfortunate answers about politicians and parties and they want to avoid that I guess.

Anyway it sounds like a great AI niche. One could crawl Q&A from the AIs in advance before they put the block in for example.
Not just a computer but just using the phone is also a wire fraud trigger too. It is basically any fraud these days though given how much communication happens through some 'wire'.

I think this interview gets a bad rap on HN. Much like the post author, I’ve given hundreds of coding interviews to candidates and taken many of them myself, sometimes passing and sometimes failing.

My takeaway is that if the goal of the coding interview is to “identify people who can code”, then this approach has high precision and poor recall.

In other words, most of the people who pass the interview actually can code (at a basic level—I’m not talking about high-level system design skills here). Very few people slip through this interview who cannot code. However, because of the poor recall, there are many people who actually code very well that the interview misses (a fact widely derided on here).

From the perspective of a big tech company, this situation is perfectly fine. There are so many candidates interviewing for any given role that accidentally rejecting a few exceptional candidates is quite an acceptable trade-off in order to prevent a bad hire. Most of the people who cannot code and are aware of their inability to code, yet still knowingly apply for a position that requires the ability to code tend to be BSer types that attempt to make their way into management positions as quickly as possible (and there are many of these people targeting big tech companies). It’s not that their inability to code hurts the company—it’s that they would prefer not to code at all and go straight to the politicking. The coding interview is simply a nuisance obstacle in the way of this objective. These types will often state that they refuse to interview at any company that requires a coding interview, though I admit there are still many BSers who are skilled enough to pick up some coding ability for just long enough to pass the interview.

At a small tech company or at a company that’s not a “brand name”, this approach obviously doesn’t work as well, because these companies don’t have nearly the onslaught of BSers applying to their open SWE positions. In this case, it might make sense to forgo the coding interview in favor of other approaches.

I like the coding interview because despite its flaws, it actually assesses some technical ability, even if it does so with low recall. This is very much unlike the behavioral interviews, which I think are mostly nonsense and are prime opportunities for BSers or mercenaries to slip into a company. In my experience, the behavioral interviews tend to disproportionally filter out people from unusual or underrepresented backgrounds that aren’t the right “cultural fit”. The language and terminology used in the interview, the conversational style and mannerisms, and the topics discussed all typically provide much more signal into the candidate’s position in the class hierarchy than how that person would do at the job. People like to think they can assess someone well by having a brief 1 hour conversation with them, but I just haven’t found that to be the case, because there are too many perverse incentives and biases involved.
Musk has been citing more precise estimates (e.g. "end of the year") for years.
> I know the logic behind it (so you know how much tax you’re paying)

I always understood it to be the opposite- so that the varying price for the same thing by location was hidden from consumers.

A nationwide chain can advertise that a product is $X, even though their customers will pay anywhere from zero additional tax (Alaska, Delaware) to over 11% additional tax (California, Arizona, Illinois). See https://www.avalara.com/taxrates/en/state-rates.html for how widely it can range by location.

> Moreover, despite some “bold” proclamations from the haters… no android vendors ever ended up making their oem tooling available to consumers at all. You have to use the Amazon spudger on your pixel, and you will fuck up the waterproofing when you do your repair, because the android phone won’t seal properly against water without the tools either. IPX sixtywho!?

I think the dirty little secret here is that an iPhone is just about the only phone, apart from maybe some of the really nice Google and Samsung flagships, that anyone wants to repair, because they're bloody expensive. Which is fine and dandy but then do kindly park your endless bemoaning of the subjects of e-waste and non-repairable goods, when Android by far and away is the worse side of that equation, with absolute shit tons of low yield, crap hardware made, sold, and thrown away when the first software update renders it completely unusable (if it wasn't already, from the factory).
Or, OR, maybe, not every bit of code needs to match all the common good practices and standards. I bet you don't write formally or in Elizabethan English all the time. Context matters in the form of common language. Why should it be any different with code? Just because LLMs can pick those practices up?
You are not alone!

I was in swim lessons since I was like 3, on swim teams from age 8 to 18, I love the water. But I never cracked the code of floating.

I can _sort of_ float on my stomach, but this is not especially useful. And I definitely have some degree of buoyancy, I have to let out air if I want to sink to the bottom. But my default state in the water is to bob uselessly near the surface. Even with a big breath, even if I try to hold them up, my legs drag me down.

Each of those links shows thousands of contributors not connected to Microsoft, but do go on believing there's no community, or that it's a terrible thing that people rely on Microsoft to produce a free, open source, solid product they can depend on. That's the reason it's Microsoft-driven, because they've mostly been doing just fine as a steward, and it being MIT licensed means MS knows the community can take over if they step too far out of line.

Accuracy can be assessed two main ways: computationally and experimentally. Computationally, they would compare the predicted structures and interactions with known data from databases like PDB (Protein Database). Experimentally, they can use tools like x-ray crystallography and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) to obtain the actual molecule structure and compare it to the predicted result. The outcomes of each approach would be fed back into the model for refining future predictions.

I believe it was actually an ambient check of things like floating point arithmetic that ran on an ongoing basis, and if it ever failed we popped up an error message.

We already shipped with debug assertions enabled in release builds, so it wouldn't have been unprecedented to do things like validate result bytes after doing big memcpy operations or things like that. Not sure if we did, though.
I have a mixed feeling about that Android keeps itself safe from this attack by not implementing DHCP option 121. IIRC Android also chooses not to support DHCPv6 intentionally.

video has the advantage that it still works when i am tired/exhausted, or rather when i want to prevent getting tired, because reading is active and takes more concentration. video makes it easier to focus because it is more passive but all your senses are activated at once.

if i am in a deep flow, the reading to solve a problem is the right approach. but when i have to fight distraction, a video helps me to focus and eventually get into the flow.

Proc macros in Rust are objectively bad in a number of ways (limited to only dealing with tokens/no type system access, hard for newcomers to grasp and write, force a lot of attributes to be written to annotate specific items, etc.) but they exemplify "worse is better" perfectly. They are incredibly powerful and allow people to build amazing abstractions that are in some cases best in class. We want to have something better, but there isn't a pressing need to rush a replacement.

> Though I wouldn't exactly call Haskell a 'systems programming language'. At least not in the sense the article uses it.

I don't disagree, but...

Except for excutable sizes and maybe unpredictable performance (performance unpredictability on Haskell has the same shape of UB on C, in that it creeps in, but it's way easier to keep away), there's actually no feature missing.

You can argue for C-like speed (instead of Java-like), but the stuff on the article doesn't have it either.
